well i had a nice pc that worked fine and never broke down .... untill yesterday.
systems specs - http://www.mmogn.com/DxDiag.txt
so i got home this morning and turned on the pc to find that it just goes into black screen after it boots - i say boots but i have the funny feeling that it dosent actually get to booting as it stops when the following message appears
Realtek gigabit boot agent
Shift + F10 to configure ............
i went into the boot agent confic screen thingy it said and it just had a few options about the order things boot, i took out network booting as id herd from some other forums that bad network cards can ah heck things up (though ive never actually used mine and dont see how it could go wrong). but it still dont work after that.
i also tried fiddling with bios bu didint find anything usefull in there.
i also tried to start it from a boot disk but this didnt work ... as it may not even be booting
and i tried to boot from windows cd to re-install windows .... but that didnt work.
ive hit tab and been thru POST at the start but that still goes back to the boot agent bit and then goes black
and last off ive hit F11 and gone to the boot menu and tried to change that but still nothing works
i also herd that it might just be going black and just being super slow at booting, but i left it for like 2 hours and still no windows or any other color than black.
if u can help or even know of a way to format the hard drive (though it would be nice not to have to do)in my situation it would be verry much appreciated
